Midterms

I'm a little embarrassed to say it, but occasionally I forget that I'm here for school. I travel a lot, spend time enjoying my city - a lot and just genuinely enjoy my time here with the friends I've made. So this being midterms week, is seriously putting a cramp in my new found Perugian style. The tests I've taken so far have been on the easier side, I was far more prepared than I probably needed to be, but the constant reading and up until the wee hours of morning nights I've had this week are taking me right back to good old NU. And what's the point of coming all the way here just to feel like I'm back home? No, I mean I'm glad to be learning, don't get me wrong, but much like the rest of the student body here, I will be happy when this week is over and I can enjoy some European life once again, stress free!
Speaking of European life, after about 3 o'clock tomorrow, I am officially free of these dreadful midterms and it is off on Fall Break! We've been planning so long I can't believe that it is finally here! London, Dublin, Edinburgh, Glasgow and back to London is going to be a crazy crazy week! We already have some great itineraries lined up, with some golf in Scotland (and yes we're getting the full golf garb!), a trip to the Guinness factory in Dublin, and a musical, the London Eye and another really exciting, yet at the moment secret event in London! I don't want to jinx myself on this last minute addition to my travel plans, so I won't divulge the details yet, but as of right now, let me tell you, I am thrilled! Not only do I get to not have any stress, class or homework for a week, but I get to see 3 new countries and get to have soooo many new experiences (especially this new one in the works that I will recount detail for detail when I return!).
So it's off for trip numero due out of Italia for me! Sorry but I might be MIA on the posts for a few days. But I'll have A LOT to say when I get back, so never fear you will be swimming in stories of the Adventures of Brittany next week!
And for those of you who are also taking mid terms this week - In Boca della Lupo! Or 'In the mouth of the wolf"! aka Good Luck! :)
